Inverclyde Royal Hospital is situated in Greenock, Inverclyde approximately 30 minutes from Glasgow. It serves a population of around 125,000 in the urban and rural areas of Inverclyde, Largs, Bute and the Cowal Peninsula.

The hospital provides a range of services including inpatient beds, general medical and surgical specialties, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, a Community Maternity Unit and Accident & Emergency.

Services

This is an Emergency Department. We prioritise people who have a serious injury or accident or who have a sudden serious illness or medical condition. It may be more appropriate and you may be seen more quickly by your GP or another health care professional rather than waiting for treatment here.

If you think that someone's life is at risk you should call 999 right away.

The Paediatric Acute Assessment Unit relocated to the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley on 28 January 2007. The unit offers 24 hour, 7-day-a-week care. There is no change to emergency care and children across Inverclyde may continue to access full A&E services at the IRH. Routine appointments for day surgery and outpatient services continue to be provided locally. There will be an expanded range of community nursing services to provide more support to families at home, particularly to parents of children with complex needs and chronic illnesses. This will include additional nurse led clinics.

The Healthcare Chaplain for Inverclyde Royal Hospital can be contacted on 01475 504759.

The Hospital Sanctuary is on level E, room E52. There is a Book of Remembrance and a book available to patients and carers to write prayers and reflections. A range of religious resources are available including prayer mats.

The sanctuary is open for use by all patients, relatives and staff.

The Chaplaincy office is opposite the sanctuary - Room E51.

The Chaplaincy Service delivers spiritual and religious care to all people. Spiritual care addresses the fundamental human need to have a sense of peace, security and hope particularly in the context of injury, illness or loss. Healthcare Chaplains do this by being attentive to the patient’s story, looking for sources of strength and resilience, valuing the person and what is most important to them. Religious care can be a crucial aspect of this. Healthcare Chaplains work with other NHS staff to ensure that these needs are met and, where appropriate, in partnership with local faith and belief groups.

For general enquiries about Healthcare Chaplaincy in NHSGGC you may contact the Head of Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care tel: 0141 211 3026 or email us at [email protected]

If you are contacting the Chaplaincy Service about a patient in one of our hospitals, please ensure, if possible, that the patient is aware of this and has agreed to it.

An NHS Healthcare Chaplain is always on-call and ward staff can arrange for them to be paged. A Roman Catholic Priest is also available at all times.
